stihl handover policy a joke

Just been reading about turtlewoods MS391 not oiling. That has reminded me about one of my pet hates which is the lack of PDI with saws etc. Surely if Stihl insist on a face to face handover for safety reasons they should PDI and run it to make sure everything works. Bought a Stihl a couple of years ago and it was almost here's the box off you go. Who knows if the chain brake or stop switch worked. All was fine but that's not the point.

Bought a Husky last year and it came with bar attached, had a PDI, run and dealer tuned. Long chat even including the virtues of different oils. Absolutely no trouble and worth the extra imo for not having the agro we had with boxed huskys recently.

PDI obviously costs but do you guys think its worth the extra.

So PDI does not exist within the manufacturing of chain saws by Stihl?. I would think that would come under quality control, not a random sampling either.

The whole point of stihl's handover policy is the saw is meant to be pdi'd before handing the saw to the customer.
